If I run for over two hours in 85F - 95F temperature, will these stay cool and not retain heat like most thick knee supports do?

Actually this knee brace not provide cooling effect (indeed it is breathable), if you run in 85F - 95F...probably still feeling hot around knee... I would only say it is more comfortable than other nylon / polymer made knee braces even in hot weather. Hope this help.

Personally, I live in Texas and haven't had any issues with this brace when it comes to heat

Not sure because my son uses them for volleyball. He hasn't complained about them making him hot though.

I live in a super humid environment. They work best when they're damp and have airflow over them. They're going to be sticky and as uncomfortable as any athletic clothing would be at that humidity, but your skin is still protected. If you're at that level of humidity and in the sun, it's going to suck with or without the sleeves.

Absolutely, these are very light but still keep your legs very warm in cold temperatures...I wore them as a base layer in 20-60 degree weather.

I use mine for cross-fit style work outs at the fire station to support my knees that suffered moto-cross abuse in the past. I think they would work, but, they advise to not leave them on for long/extended periods. Lots of stair climbs, squats, lunges, sprints, and mobility. Does that help any?

Yes they stay, there are 3 pairs of sizes to choose and a pair for regular non excercise use.I've been running with them for about 1 1/2 months and they do the job perfect

I've been wearing mine continuously for weeks and have only noticed a little discomfort when my knee is fully bent (e.g. sitting cross legged). Since my knee is a little loose now after I injured it, I wouldn't be able to run. Having said that, my only concern is that your knee will probably get really warm while wearing the brace and running.

I would say that if you take it off for a little while around every 20 minutes of use and let your arms cool down, it should not be a problem. With that said, it is probably more dependent on whether or not you are using it in an air conditioned area, or the temperature in the location you are in. I personally have not found heat to be of any real issue while wearing them.

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

If u r working hard, out in the sun, you will probably get too much sweat inside these. They are ventilated, but the air only really circulates when moving, like on a motorcycle or scooter.

Hello, I haven't worn them all night, but I have noticed how much warmer my knees feel when I go outside, and I live in Fairbanks, AK. They made a big difference a couple of weeks ago when it was 28 below, and I wouldn't go outside without them now. I do wear them at work for 9-1/2 hours, and find them comfortable, warm and I haven't had a problem with them for that length of time. I bought them mostly for support, but do find they give added warmth outside in the cold. This is the best answer I can give you.

I'm not sure where you live, but I wear these in Phoenix, Arizona (in the winter there) and Idaho in the summer. I've used them in 90 degree heat, and worn them under a Nuu-Muu running dress, and have been perfectly comfortable. I usually get quite a few compliments on the set up! PS...I just purchased my 3rd pair of these compression tights! I love them and simply would not go back to the regular running tights I was wearing before. If you haven't worn these before, remember that they are SUPPOSED to be tight...that is the purpose of the compression! Hope that helps!

I don't know if these are good for running. If you do get these make sure to use high socks because the material of the ankle weights may remove some skin, lol. It's a little coarse. But I have the 10 lb weights even when I walk with them on I can feel it wanting to scrape my skin. Maybe another one with a wider Velcro strap that can hold it more secure. Be careful with running with ankle weights as it may not be good for your knees. Hope this helps, good luck

NO! They are way too thin for that. They will help, and will keep the wind off, but anything cooler than 65 and you will be cold. You CAN use them as a layer. It takes a little work, but under my 3/2 they work fine.

No! It stays cool while my legs are on it. It feels really good on my legs, knees and especially my back!

They'll definitely stay on. I do martial arts with these on, and they resist sweat too btw.

Yes. On a hot day, you're back will sweat regardless of what they're installed on. I have regular plush fabric and they still cause me to sweat. But I do like them. My only complaint is they fade and stretch over time. But for the price, it is a great product. For the cleanest looking application, I would remove the head rests, install the covers without the headrests, cut small holes in the top for the headrest bars, the put the headrests over the covers. Looks more clean and the covers last longer.

Not recommended, they will sweat and get soft. Ideally they should go on a rack where the air can flow around them while they cool off. Hope that helps!! =)
